In just a few shorts weeks, Netflix will present its next documentary series, Abstract: The Art of Design. Similar to their already successful Chef’s Table, Abstract will take us into the lives of several designers and some of their most successful projects:

The eight-episode series will focus on eight designers from different disciplines: Graphic design, illustration, photography, architecture, interior design, set design, shoe design and automobile design. There are some pretty huge names in each category, perhaps most notable being the Danish architect Bjarke Ingels (think Via 57 West), Nike's Tinker Hatfield (think Air Jordans and Mags) and Fiat Chrysler's head of design Ralph Gilles (many, many cars).

Really looking forward to my next Netflix binge session.

What are your thoughts on these Smithsonian pieces?

James Turrell is an American artist who’s work explores the perception of light, color, and space, creating an experience that exposes the use of light as a tangible substance. His exhibitions have been featured all over the world, some major museums across the nation like, the LACMA in Los Angeles, The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the Guggenheim in New York. His installations truly transform the space, making each exhibit unique to its location. We have our very own here in Chicago called the UIC Skyspace, an open observatory on the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago. You can see more of his work here!
